During the worst stretch of the year, Jacksonville State's softball team discovered how good it could be. It happened during the last three weeks of the regular season. That's when the Gamecocks lost seven of nine games but began putting themselves in the position they occupy now -- a first-round game in the Tuscaloosa Regional tonight against Alabama, the defending national champion.

I have no problem believing in the old Sports Illustrated jinx — it always seems as soon as a team hits the cover, it loses. There’s part of me that wonders if I write a story for the sports front page, am I dooming that particular team or athlete? I realize in my head what I write has nothing to do with how a team or player performs, but against all reason, my heart sometimes says otherwise.

When Max Shortell decided it finally was time to get off the wild and confusing ride that was his first two years at Minnesota, nothing was more important than finding the perfect place to land. There were several suitors for a quarterback with 13 games of BCS experience, but it ultimately came down to where he and his gunslinger style fit best. That became Jacksonville State and once he completes the necessary paperwork, he’ll be on his way to becoming a Gamecock “for good.”
